Rezaei rejects negotiation over Iran’s missile program

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Former IRGC commander in chief posted a message on his Instagram account rejecting any chance of negotiation over Iran’s missile program.

“We are willing to sit at negotiations over nuclear disarming of Israel or the region free from nuclear weapons but missiles are our defensive shields and if undermined we will get weak in defending ourselves,” concluded Mr. Rezaei his post.
